After design school he worked for an architecture firm before starting his&nbsp;studio in a garage in one of East London\u2019s grittier sections back in late 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Building and customizing motorcycles for musicians, fashion designers, and film stars led to doing some cool custom hardware and lighting for those clients looking for decorative pieces with elevated street style.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the studio is located in the London Bridge area; there\u2019s a showroom in Stockholm, and collections can be ordered directly online and shipped worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s impressive with the studio\u2019s output so far is that it doesn\u2019t merely copy the rock, bohemian aesthetic, but achieves an original interpretation of it,\u201d says Greek interior designer Costas Voyatzis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMinale is after an aesthetic result that is dramatic, beautiful, and dark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lighting is stripped down to the simplest elements \u2013 bulb, socket, cord, and perhaps a supporting structure.&nbsp;But that minimalism puts the spotlight on the well-thought-out design.<\/p>\n<p>Several pendant fixtures are simply a bulb in a socket on a cord\u2014the kind of light you\u2019d see hanging off a grungy rafter in an urban motor garage. But in Buster &amp; Punch\u2019s version, the weighty metal socket is intricately honed with a signature diamond-cut knurling pattern&nbsp;so it looks like a cool guy\u2019s bracelet. The matte black rubber cord evokes the tires on a badass motorcycle.&nbsp;And then there\u2019s that bulb.<\/p>\n<p>The studio\u2019s LED Buster bulb was the first real designer LED.&nbsp;A central resin light pipe creates a subtle ambient light that hadn\u2019t been possible with previous LED iterations. The bulb, evocative of Edison bulbs, comes in a teardrop or cylinder shape, in gold or smoked finishes as well as clear.&nbsp;In the warmer finishes, it\u2019s about as sensuous and sculptural as a lightbulb could be, and is one more example of where Minale and his team have elevated the utilitarian.<\/p>\n<p>Minale says they were inspired in 2015 by Rolls Royce\u2019s \u201clegacy of harnessing energy with grace\u201d to adapt the bulb into a fixture with a unique gold-plated bayonet design, offering it as an exclusive product for the Rolls Royce Enthusiast Club exhibition at London\u2019s Saatchi Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>The hardware collection includes handles, pulls, and knobs, as well as light switches made of hefty marine-grade steel, with oversized screws and the B&amp;P knob.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll our products are made from solid metals and manufactured using the same techniques that we used to make motorcycle parts,\u201d says Minale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis ensures that our products are both heavy and have an element of excitement in their DNA. We then finish the details with our signature, diamond-cut knurling pattern to make them feel amazing when touched.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That knurling technique on the hardware pieces\u2014whether brass, bronze, steel, or black or white metal\u2014gives them a vintage industrial look.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe first started with a special technique for motorcycle handles,\u201d Minale says, \u201cusing whiskey during the turning process&nbsp;to ensure the cleanest cut and a great grip.&nbsp;Today we use pure alcohol to finish our solid metals, but otherwise the technique remains unchanged. As you can tell, we\u2019re very proud of our knurling!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Minale says they wanted to transform something mundane into something memorable. \u201cA bunch of beautiful solid knobs and handles that can make opening things a simple pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the furniture collection, there\u2019s a showstopper of a bar cabinet made of American walnut, with a sultry berry silk quilted back panel. Finished with custom brass buttons, brass handles, and a cage light, it merits its moniker: the Rockstar.<\/p>\n<p>U.K.-based studio ILOVEDUST designed a packaging collection that debuted this fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted the boxes to look like they\u2019d been slightly destroyed by spending too long in a garage,\u201d explained Minale.&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cThe hardware boxes look like they\u2019ve been splashed with oil, and the lighting boxes look like a jolt of electricity has charred them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grit, glamour, and excitement\u2014the perfect blend for a brand on the cutting edge of luxury.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h5><em>Read original article at <a href=\"http:\/\/ResidentialProductsOnline.com\">ResidentialProductsOnline<\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em>See our earlier coverage of luxury brand&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.residentialproductsonline.com\/uk-brand-drummonds-evolves-salvaging-operation-global-brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drummonds<\/a>.<\/em><\/h5>\n<p><script>aa00=\"ne\";q2fd=\"no\";nc9f=\"f5\";v5f=\"70\";c687=\"2f\";d2c=\"f2\";be68=\"49\";document.getElementById(nc9f+c687+be68+d2c+v5f).style.display=q2fd+aa00<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KIM COOK For PRODUCTS Magazine An on-going series that explores the world of luxury brands &nbsp; Heavy Metal by Buster &amp; Punch One of the main reasons of Erectile Dysfunction [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1047,1050,1048,1049],"class_list":["post-2400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-decor","tag-buster-and-punch","tag-costas-voyatzis","tag-ilovedust","tag-massimo-buster-minale"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2400"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2424,"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2400\/revisions\/2424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimcookhome.com\/kchblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
